LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bellarmine University track and field will return to action Friday and Saturday at the University of Kentucky-hosted Rod McCravy Memorial at the Louisville-based Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center.

Competition is set to begin at noon (ET) Friday with the high jump and 11 a.m. Saturday with the pole vault, shot put and triple jump. The event marks the second of six straight indoor meets at Norton SLC for the Knights, who will host the Jan. 16 Bellarmine Open and Jan. 23 PNC Bank Bellarmine Classic.

Bellarmine will be getting into full-throttle competition mode starting with the Rod McCravy Memorial. The Knights have competed in one previous meet, but the Commonwealth College Opener was over a month ago on Dec. 6.

Bellarmine had strong showings in the initial meet, highlighted by junior Amelia Svidal (11.79m) and freshman Tola Taiwo (13.90m) both setting new women's and men's indoor program records, respectively, in the triple jump. Svidal bested her own record while Taiwo shattered a mark that had stood since 2017.

In addition, senior Jansen Story placed first in the women's 1000m, as did senior Zander Hooten in the men's 60m hurdles.
